Lying on her front with her arm covering her chest, Clara gazes seductively down the lens with her smoky eyes and messy hair.

Her "comme ci comme ça" tattoo is just visible on her right side. Translated into English as "so so", Clara also used the phrase to caption the snaps.

The official Playboy account also shared the pics, writing: "Meet @claramcgregor, 22-year-old Brooklyn resident and NYU grad (not to mention the daughter of movie star Ewan), looking to make a splash behind the camera rather than in front of it."

Another couple of images see Clara in lacy black underwear and a suede corset.

In one she perches on a vintage cabinet and continues the sultry theme, however, in the other she show a more fun smile as she bursts into laughter.

A profile on the magazine's website describes Clara as having an "innately cool charisma".

Despite the risque shoot, she told Playboy that she feels sexiest when wearing her "favourite pair of mom jeans" and said she has ambitions to be an actor like her dad.

She said: "I just graduated from NYU in December and while I was in college I was doing modelling. But now I have the time to focus primarily on acting.

"I have an acting coach and I'm taking classes. I have a lot of really creative friends in music and film, all sorts. What's awesome about being in New York is you're surrounded by so many creative people."

The Playboy shoot comes just a few weeks after fashion label Dolce & Gabbana chose Clara to strut the catwalk in New York. At 5ft 5in, she is shorter than most models but has inherited her film star father's piercing blue eyes.

Trainspotting star McGregor split with Clara's mother, Eve Mavrakis, last year after 22 years of marriage and was reported to be dating Fargo co-star, Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

Shortly after the split, Clara posted a picture of her mother with McGregor cropped out. However she was spotted with her father at a film premiere in New York on Saturday.
